Realistically, I did not gain this weight over night. It came on gradually and will come off gradually. I have set a goal to lose another 20 pounds however long it takes. If I do not gain in a week or if I have lost 1 oz in a week I consider that a big plus. I really do not count to much on the scale I judge by how my clothes fit and how I feel. I cannot exercise hard as I have a bulging disc in my lower back that causes severe pain and affects my legs. But I do walk often and I do Qi gong. I will have surgery in the near future to fix this.. My AIC is down to 6.1 and my plan is to keep it there or lower. Prayers for all Joy

Somehow I managed to lose 5 lbs the first week. Probably a lot of water weight. This week I'm changing up my diet to see if subtle changes will help drop the LB's. Good luck everyone and hang in there.
